In my opinion Crooked lake is one of the best campgrounds in Saskatchewan. The campsites are all well treed and private. It's also relatively close to home for us, so not too expensive to pull our camper out there.
Corbin Bulani
Very nice camping. Only complaint is there are no signs at the water fill stations. People think it's a place to wash their dishes. Other parks have a friendly sign asking not to wash dishes at each fill station. Other than that this park is very well maintained. Highly recommend if your looking for a peaceful camping trip.

Poor map to get to #78, there is no loop around as the map shows! So, not just us that had to back up our unit down the road to make a turn around. Not great campground for big units as trees are not cut back. There are some gems of sites, though. No staff most times at check in so be sure to bring cell phone to take picture of map. Firewood is dry, if there is any at all. The highway to this park is horrible. Very small park, limited hiking paths, but does has modern service centre. Great if all you wanna do is fish and boat. There is a playground and mini golf. And the lake has green algae on it. Positive: the small campground boasts a new service centre.

Have been coming to this lake for 28 years. Finally camped here and love it! The sites are beautiful, we had a waterfront which was gorgeous and very spacious! Bathrooms are also very nice and well maintained.
